Are you a budding wizard? Do you long to be the finest wizard in all the land? What are you waiting for?

What other questions might you ask someone, if you were persuading them to come to YOUR school? Use the Are you… Do you… starters and what, why and when question words. For example:

Great Steam LocomotivesSince George Stephenson’s Locomotion No. 1 carried its first excited passengers along the Stockton to Darlington railway in 1825, Britain has been captivated by the wonder of steam locomotives. The grandeur and beauty of the steam locomotive has captured the hearts and imaginations of generation after generation of people.

Steam locomotives completely changed trade and travel around the country as Britain’s network of railways opened up new experiences for the people who could travel further than they had ever done before and businesses thrived as goods could be transported in and out of the ports quickly and efficiently.

Many great steam locomotives contributed to the growth and success of the golden age of the railways. This text aims to provide the reader with detailed information about some of the most famous of these historic and majestic machines.

RocketIn 1829 father and son team George and Robert Stephenson entered their steam locomotive, Rocket, into the Rainhill Trials. This was a competition designed to find a locomotive fit to ride the new Liverpool to Manchester Railway line. The competition set clear guidelines to its entrants: The winning locomotive had to consume its own smoke; be fast and powerful and be able to travel the full distance of the railway line. Six locomotives started the competition but the Rocket was soon declared as the clear winner. The Rocket had several new design features which contributed to its overall victory in the trials.

The first innovative feature was the use of single driving wheels meaning that the Rocket was lighter overall and cheaper to make. Secondly, the Rocket used a multi-tubular boiler which enabled it to run more efficiently. Thirdly, combined with the multi-tubular boiler Rocket had a blast pipe which allowed it to force smoke out of the chimney at a faster rate making it more powerful and faster.

To many people the Rocket will always remain the greatest of steam locomotives. It was the fastest of its day, reaching a record speed of 29 miles per hour in the Rainhill trials and it combined all the key design features which all other steam locomotives would have in the future.

Flying ScotsmanThe Flying Scotsman is another of Britain’s great steam locomotives. It was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built in Doncaster for the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. The Flying Scotsman was named because it worked The Flying Scotsman express passenger service between London and Edinburgh. This service began in 1862 and is still running today!

The Flying Scotsman set two new world records during its glory days. First of all, in 1928, it became the first steam locomotive to travel non-stop from London to Edinburgh in a record time of eight hours. Later, in 1934, it became the first steam locomotive to reach a top speed of 100 miles per hour.

The Flying Scotsman became quite a star over time. It featured in the film The Flying Scotsman in 1929, appeared in a British Rail TV advert in 1986 and in 2012 it was engraved on the back of a special £5 coin which was made in celebration of the summer Olympics.

History | LKS2 | The Railways | The Wonder of Steam Locomotives | Lesson 2

MallardThe Mallard was another of Sir Nigel Gresley’s designs. It was designed to be fast and sleek and it able to pull long passenger trains at high speeds. The Mallard had an aerodynamic body, a double chimney and effective blast pipe which all helped it to easily reach speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.On 3 July 1938, when it was 4 months old, the Mallard broke the world record for the fastest ever steam locomotive reaching a top speed of 126 miles per hour. This world record still stands to this day. During its 25 year career the Mallard is reported to have travelled nearly one and a half million miles. It was retired from service in 1963 with a reputation as one of the greatest steam locomotives of all time. The Mallard is currently housed at the National Railway museum in York.

Evening StarThe Evening Star was destined to be a famous steam locomotive before it was even built in 1960. It was designed by R.A. Riddles and it was to be the last steam locomotive for British Railways. It was given the name Evening Star after a competition was held amongst British Rail staff to find the perfect name.

The Evening Star worked both as a heavy freight locomotive and an express passenger train hauler and it was regularly recorded transporting passengers at speeds of over 90 miles per hour.

The Evening Star was withdrawn from service in 1965.

The introduction of more and more diesel locomotives in the 1960s meant that steam locomotives were used less and less. The golden age of the steam locomotives had come to an end. However, the fascination and appreciation of steam locomotives was never lost and it is not surprising that people today remain captivated by the nostalgia and majesty of the glorious steam locomotives which truly are the heroes of a bygone era of railway history.

Illustration of the railway, 1830.

On 15 September 1830, the first train ran on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Things would never be the same again. Previously, people and post travelled by stagecoach, which was expensive and slow. Before, goods travelled by river and canal, which was even slower and still expensive.

The Liverpool and Manchester Railway was the first to be powered solely by steam engines and was, in effect, a proper railway. The Stockton and Darlington Railway (opened in 1825), for instance used horses to pull its passenger coaches, and used a stationary engine to pull coal trains up a steep hill. The railway was so successful that, by 1872, there were 25,500 kilometres of railway in Britain. Every town and village wanted their own railway!

Early railways made their money carrying coal, and first-class passengers (that is, wealthy people). But it wasn’t long before they realised, they could make money carrying ordinary people in third-class

carriages. By 1875, the railways were carrying over 450 million passengers each year.

First-class train carriage.

Impact of the railway Everything was so much faster! By the 1890s, trains were regularly running at 110 kilometres per hour or more. Before the railway, 16 kilometres an hour in a coach was fast, and most ordinary people walked everywhere. In 1745, it took two weeks to travel by coach from London to Edinburgh. However, by 1901, you could do it in nine hours by train. Railways created thousands of jobs – either building or running the railway. New towns like Swindon and Crewe grew up, building railway engines and all the equipment a railway needed.

Workmen wait to get the train to work, 1884.

People could live further away from where they worked, either in new suburbs or in commuter towns. People could eat better, because food reached the towns and cities more quickly, making it cheaper and fresher.

Finally, the railways led to the growth of Seaside resorts, like Margate, Skegness and Blackpool. People could cheaply and quickly travel to spend time at the sea. The seaside holiday was born!

Railway time Perhaps one of the most interesting effects of the railway was ‘railway time’. Time used to be set in England by the rising and setting of the sun which, Cornwall, might be 10 minutes earlier or later than in London. People quickly realised that, to run a railway, everyone needed to use the same time. This is when time across the whole country was standardised.

Task: Do you agree that the railway ‘changes everything’? What would you say was the main impact of the railway?

Travelling in towns and cities Horses, horses everywhere… Whether people lived in towns or the countryside, they depended on horses. Rich people kept horses for riding and had a carriage or two as well, so they needed stables and servants, including a carriage driver, to look after all these horses. In towns, people used horse taxis and buses of all descriptions to get around. This one, owned by the London and North Western Railway, was used to take first-class passengers from the station to where they were going.

Streets were full of delivery carts. Cattle and sheep, ducks and geese, were walked to the butcher’s to be slaughtered, but everything else had to be carried by hand or was delivered by cart.

Every street was covered in horse droppings. Children could earn a penny sweeping the streets.

Trams and trolley buses From the 1860s, people began to use horse-drawn trams. Later, around 1900, electric powered trams were developed. These were usually supplied from overhead cables and ran on rails laid in the middle of the street. The routes were expensive to build but could carry people quickly and cheaply across towns. Soon, every town and city wanted its own electric trams and trolley buses. It meant that people no longer had to live right next to where they worked, or no longer had to walk several kilometres each day to and from work. These changes made huge differences to life in Victorian towns and cities.

Underground train near Paddington, 1863.

The first underground railway in the world opened in 1863. It ran under the streets of London. Carriages were lit by gas and the trains were pulled by steam engines. It was all very noisy and dirty! The first electric train arrived in 1890. Soon, underground lines reached out into the countryside and commuters could easily travel from there into the middle of London to work. Land around London began to be built on, and houses near an underground station were very popular indeed.
